I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

The Plaza Hotel: Luxury Family Glamour
August 28, 2016April 22, 2020

A couple of weeks ago I took my kids to The Plaza for Eloise Tea and to see Hamilton. The Plaza was expensive, but worth every penny. August is HOT in NYC, adding the crowds and you can have a miserable time out on the streets. The Plaza is an oasis. Just walking into the lobby with the dripping chandeliers, towering palm trees and flower arrangements and the smell of gardenias… all your worries disappear like a sugar cube in…

Marlise and Scott, Two Peas in a Pod of Strange Lyrics
September 5, 2007

My little sister’s husband of twenty years is quite a piece of work. Busting with testosterone, the man is a burly bear, a work-machine, a snap-turtle, and a sweetheart underneath his very gruff exterior.

Like the time they were watching the World Series and the Star…

How Abbott and Costello are Helping me Care for my Very Sick Father
August 28, 2017February 10, 2021

So I just went out to help my Dad out of the car. He appeared to be talking on his phone, but when I got closer, I realized he was actually holding a package of tissues up to his mouth like a walkie-talkie and talking to it. I heard phrases like “Put a sock in it lady!” and “On a scale of 1-to10 I hate Humana!” It turns out a recording from his old health insurance was robo-calling him on…

Bearded Lady and her Bearded Goat
May 29, 2008

I have been wanting to take Henry and Annabelle to toddler time at the Native Earth Teaching Farm for years. We’ve never made it. Usually our mornings are very slow and lovely. The kids completely disappear in their own play worlds in the morning and I absolutely love making them something warm and delicious–pancakes, oatmeal, english muffins. This morning I had a double whammy of delight and made pancakes AND chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I then dressed each child (a…
